College Sports World Reacts to Big Ten, Pac-12 Decisions to Postpone Fall Sports

Countless players and coaches from around college football weighed in on the decisions announced Tuesday.

Both the Pac-12 and Big Ten announced Tuesday their decisions to postpone the 2020 fall sports season because of COVID-19 concerns.

The Big Ten and Pac-12's respective decisions mark the first two made by Power 5 conferences to delay the fall sports season. In July, the Ivy League became the first conference to announce that it would not hold collegiate sports in the fall of 2020. Other conferences, including the MAC, have followed suit. 

Countless players and coaches from around college football weighed in on the decisions announced Tuesday. Here's a look at how some people reacted:

Let’s be honest everyone.... do they actually think we can do spring competition and couple months later fall??? #Falsehope

If Covid is still around in the spring (which I’m sure it will be) what’s the difference? Then it’s going to get delayed again.. Now seniors gotta make a decision, Do We stay and play or do We declare??? Such a messed up situation for us 🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️.. All I can say is God be with us🙏🏽

Was reflecting yesterday and thought I would share some thoughts for younger athletes. I’m glad I was taught this from great players at an early age. #CantWaitToPlayAgain pic.twitter.com/FQDTrcO7ME
